Our Top Five Picks for Rent Control Apartments in D.C.
What is a ‘rent-controlled apartment’?
Rent control apartments can be rented by anyone.
Low and predictable rent increases are what make rent control apartments so desirable.
Why are they so low?
The annual increases in your rent may not exceed an allowable increase set by the city government. The annual adjustment is based on the Consumer Price Index {CPI} plus somewhere between 2%-10% of your rent. The combination of CPI + the % increase can never exceed 10% total. The law also sets that the landlord may only increase your rent once in any 12-month period. So, if in 2016 your rent was $1000 upon your anniversary/lease renewal, your rent could have a maximum increase of $25. Because the CPI was .5% and the city allowed an additional 2% increase.
